Regulatory Information

Model No.: PCVA-IMB4A

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

and

(2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

❑ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

❑ Increase the separation between the

equipment and the receiver.

❑ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

❑ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications

not expressly approved in this manual could void

your authority to operate this equipment.

Only peripherals (computer input/output devices,

terminals, printers, etc.) that comply with FCC Class

B limits may be attached to this computer product.

Operation with noncompliant peripherals is likely to

result in interference to radio and television

reception.

All cables used to connect peripherals must be

shielded and grounded. Operation with cables,

connected to peripherals, that are not shielded and

grounded, may result in interference to radio and

television reception.

FCC Part 68

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC

rules. The FCC Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

for this equipment is 0.8B. If requested, this

information must be provided to the telephone

company.

This modem uses the USOC RJ-11 telephone jack.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices

which may be connected to the telephone line.

Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in

the devices not ringing in response to an incoming

call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs

should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the

number of devices that may be connected to the line,

as determined by the total RENs, contact the

telephone company to determine the maximum REN

for the calling area.

If the terminal equipment causes harm to the

telephone network, the telephone company will

notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance

of service may be required. But if advance notice is

not practical, the telephone company will notify the

customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be

advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC

if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its

facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the operations of the equipment. If this

happens, the telephone company will provide

advance notice in order for you to make the

necessary modifications in order to maintain

uninterrupted service.

Avis de l’Industrie Canada

AVIS : L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le

matériel homologué.

Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme

aux normes de protection, d’exploitation et de

sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme

que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source

d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des

canalisations d’eau métalliques, s’il y en a, sont

raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est

particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

AVERTISSEMENT : L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter

de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir

recours à un service d’inspection des installations

électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
